Subject: GREETINGS
MR.CHRIS EZE
ARAB BANK BENIN (ABB),
ACCOUNTING & AUDITING DEPARTMENT
COTONOU REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
DEAR FRIEND,
(CONFIDENTIAL)
I AM MR.CHRIS EZE, THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF ARAB BANK COTONOU
REPUBLIC OF BENIN IN WEST AFRICA WITH DUE RESPECT AND
REGARD. I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS
TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US
AT THE END OF THE TRANSACTION.
DURING OUR INVESTIGATION AND AUDITING IN THIS BANK, MY
DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS A VERY HUGE SUM OF MONEY
BELONGING TO A DECEASED PERSON WHO DIED ON OCTOBER
31ST 2002 IN A FIERCEFUL AUTO-CRASH ALONG MIDOMBO TOGO
EXPRESS WAY WITH HIS FAMILY AND THE FUND HAS BEEN
DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY
CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR CUSTODY EITHER FROM HIS
FAMILY OR RELATION BEFORE OUR DISCOVERY TO THIS
DEVELOPMENT.
ALTHOUGH PERSONALLY, I KEEP THIS INFORMATION SECRET
WITHIN MYSELF TO ENABLE THE WHOLE PLANS AND IDEA BE
PROFITABLE AND SUCCESSFUL DURING THE TIME OF
EXECUTION. THE SAID AMOUNT WAS U.S $10.7M (TEN MILLION
SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
MEANWHILE, ALL THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT TO PUT CLAIM OVER
THIS FUND AS THE BONAFIDE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED,
GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL AND TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO A
FOREIGN ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND DIRECTIVES
AND NEEDED INFORMATION WILL BE RELAYED TO YOU AS SOON
AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO
ASSIST ME AND ALSO BENEFIT YOUR SELF TO THIS GREAT
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
IN FACT I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT BECAUSE
OF MY POSITION IN THIS COUNTRY AS A CIVIL SERVANT(A
BANKER), WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPERATE A FOREIGN
ACCOUNT AND WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE AN EYE BROW ON MY
SIDE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER BECAUSE I WORK IN
THIS BANK.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL REASON WHY IT WILL REQUIRE A SECOND
PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIMS AS THE NEXT OF
KIN WITH AFFIDAVIT OF TRUST OF OATH TO THE BANK AND
ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE HE WILL NEED THE
MONEY TO BE RE-TRANSFERRED INTO ON HIS REQUEST AS IT
MAY BE AFTER DUE VERIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION BY THE
CORRESPONDENT BRANCH OF THE BANK WHERE THE WHOLE MONEY
WILL BE REMITTED FROM TO YOUR OWN DESIGNATION BANK
ACCOUNT.
I WILL NOT FAIL TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS
100% RISK FREE. ON SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS
TRANSACTION, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO 30% OF THE TOTAL
SUM AS GRATIFICATION, WHILE 5% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO
TAKE CARE OF EXPENSES THAT MAY ARISE DURING THE TIME
OF TRANSFER AND ALSO TELEPHONE BILLS, WHILE 65% WILL
BE FOR ME. PLEASE, YOU HAVE BEEN ADVICED TO KEEP "TOP
SECRET" AS I AM STILL IN SERVICE AND INTEND TO RETIRE
FROM SERVICE AFTER I CONCLUDE THIS DEAL WITH YOU.
I WILL BE MONITORING THE WHOLE SITUATION HERE IN THIS
BANK UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT, AND
ASK ME TO COME DOWN TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR SUBSEQUENT
SHARING OF THE FUND ACCORDING TO PERCENTAGES
PREVIOUSLY INDICATED AND FURTHER INVESTMENT, EITHER IN
YOUR COUNTRY OR ANY COUNTRY YOU ADVICE US TO INVEST
IN. ALL OTHER NECESSARY VITAL INFORMATION WILL BE SENT
TO YOU WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU.
I SUGGEST YOU GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
STATING YOUR WISH IN THIS DEAL.
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR URGENT REPLY.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR CHRIS EZE
